How movie theaters SHOULD be laid out - The Oatmeal.

[AphroditeGoneAwry]

I tend to make smart-ass comments.

I also tend to make commentary.

So, yeah, I find people of oft annoyed by me during movies.

At my Aunties she would talk through the whole movie, not related to the movie but like she would if their wasn't a movie on. I just want to watch the movie but it ruins the experience.
My mum also did the same thing which is annoying.
A bit of talking or jokes like what you might expect with friends who want to watch the movie with you is perfectly fine.

Does it bother you?
I like to watch movies alone most of the time especially at home,but I don't mind having mutual discussion/remarks over something in a movie.If i'm in a theater and someone is overly obnoxious then yes that bothers me.
Do you do it?
If a movie is boring to me I am the WORST person to have around I can either blab the whole time or I end up falling asleep.(the falling asleep isn't as bad and is what normally happens) I used to be when I was younger obnoxious because I was never myself and didn't know how to be so to keep playing the part with my friends I was horribly loud in the theaters.Now I'm not.

What's your reaction? (Do you say anything?)
I usually don't say anything and just exchange an annoyed look with my friend/friends.

Yeah.. I love talking during movies at home but being that I'm an INFPversion, I only talk if I know for sure my movie-watching-friends are talkers too or at least movie-talker-open. The default approach is to assume any new movie-watcher is anti-talking and to restrain myself and possibly burst on the inside. My talkativeness will vary with genre and quality. Some movies are so good they silence me. And some are so bad they silence me.

Hypocritical P.S.- When I went to see the second to last Harry Potter Movie (which I loved) this girl next to me was narrating the entire book to the girl next to her and it was beyond annoying because it was incessant.

I really dislike it when anyone talks during a movie, unless it's obvious that others are welcome to it and the movie sucks. I find it hard to talk during a good movie because I feel like I'm in the movie :D
I remember watching the last two Harry Potter movies at a drive-in movie (park your car in a huge field in front of a giant screen) and when Dobby died I cried so much, but so many people around me were laughing.
I cried when Dobby died in the books and it was even more painful to watch when others were laughing at his death...
Just thinking about it makes me tear up and want to punch people.
P.S- Can you believe that there are no more HP movies?! I wish JK Rowling would make a prequel, something to do with Harry's parents at school... Ah, now I feel like reading some Fanfics.

Does it bother me? Not really, unless it is obnoxious and completely unrelated to the movie.
Do I do it? More often at home with friends, but there have been certain occasions during comedies where I made hushed comments.
Do I say anything? No, if it is obnoxious then I will either try to ignore or walk out and try again another time.

I walked out & got a refund once. Usually people tell them to shut their pie holes & they do. This time it was a shouting match between some kids & adults. The kids (around 14) won. The manager asked them to quit shouting & they heckled him. Lots of people left. I just came back later & watched it then. Yeah, it bugs me when that happens but it's been pretty rare. If 2 people are whispering now & then I can usually tune it out. Thank goodness no one takes their screaming babies to the movies anymore! My gosh that used to piss me off!

[Pyroscope]

Watching movies alone is definitely preferable if I haven't seen it before! If it's something we're watching because it's entertainingly silly then I don't mind talking much, but if it's got more depth then I'm silent and would be happier if others are too. I don't mind that much if people make the odd comment because I can do that sometimes, but not if they're making them constantly (unless we're watching for the ridiculous factor).

[La Petite Sirène]

Does it bother you?
Cinema: Yeah, it bothers me. I've never seen this film before. I don't want to hear you yaking it up with your friends in the seats behind me. I also, somehow, always manage to sit next to the one person who talks during films whenever I do group outings. :\ Going to the cinema alone = win. :)
Home: No, it doesn't bother me. When I am home I am usually watching with my mother or my brother, and we don't usually talk it up, but we'll point random things out to one another or ask for clarification if something goes over our head. There's something different about talking during a film at home versus the cinema.

Do you do it?
Cinema: On the rare occasion, yes.
Home: A little more frequently, but see above for further explanation. :P

What's your reaction? (Do you say anything?)
Cinema: Generally, no. I just try to keep focusing on the film. If it's a friend who won't stop yaking in my ear, I just ignore them until they get the point and stop talking to me.
Home: Unless it is absolutely vital information that I am missing as a result of someone talking during a film, I won't say anything. My mother has a bad habit of thinking out loud or pointing out inconsistencies during some of the more crucial parts of a film, so she's the only one I'll shush. XD;;

I think this should be implemented ASAP.
